sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of
sampling error is ±3 percentage points.

For results based on the 499 national adults in the
Form A half-sample and 526 national adults in the Form B half-sample, the maximum
margins of sampling error are ±5 percentage points.

For results based on the sample of 557 respondents who
are currently married, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±5 percentage
points.

For results based on the sample of 444 respondents who
are currently not married, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±5 percentage
points.

Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline
telephones (for respondents with a landline telephone) and cellular phones (for

In addition to sampling error, question wording and
practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into
the findings of public opinion polls.
